Jingkun Chinese Arts (China/UK)
An experimental Chinese opera performance fusing Kunqu, Peking Opera and contemporary theatre. Inspired by archival material from endangered opera works, the show reimagines a surreal court scene from Tang Xianzu’s The Nanke Dream – where female allure and political ambition spark disaster. Featuring stylised movement, traditional vocals and symbolic costume drawn from opera heritage, The Covetousness brings ancient Chinese aesthetics into dialogue with modern themes of desire, identity, and power. Presented in Mandarin with English surtitles. For audiences interested in intercultural performance and reimagined traditions.
